"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence." ― [Nikola Tesla]

In any serious analysis of the ether it is paramount to acknowledge the Victorian age (1832-1901) compared to the post Victorian or modern age of quantum physics from 1901 onwards. In terms of this analysis we can say with good intent the Victorian science age ended in 1896 with the isolation and quantification of the electron by J. J. Thomson et al. The point of interest is the atom was considered indivisible up to 1896. After 1896 it became impossible to hold onto the indivisible atom theory and it became obvious atoms were composed of smaller "sub atomic" corpuscles. The idea atoms were indivisible seems to have originated as far back in time as the 5th century BCE with Leucippus. To the Victorian scientists then the atom was indivisible hence 1) there was nothing smaller than an atom yet their logic told them 2) there was something else other than atoms that could not be isolated physically yet this other substance had to be there to account for propagation of light, heat, etc. They called this unknowable substance aether, ether, luminiferous ether, etc..

It is the premise of this writer their mysterious ether is a general classification encompassing all of our crowded quantum realm of elementary and composite particles and forces. He called his field of research Sympathetic Vibratory Physics, Etheric Physics or simply Vibratory Physics. Today this field has several divisions; particle physics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics, high energy nuclear physics and various other related fields. All of these fields were unknown to Victorian science.

Because the beliefs of the Victorian scientists did not permit them to acknowledge anything smaller than an atom their orthodox beliefs (dogma and doctrine) prevented them from investigating with or without prejudice any ideas or theories which included the dissociation of atoms into their constituent or aliquot parts - or the investigation into these etheric (quantum) entities and their forces and dynamics.

This very human state of affairs persisted until the investigatory work and collaboration of many scientists prior to and after 1896 around the discovery and theoretical development of the electron - the first real subatomic or quantum particle to be acknowledged and accepted by the credentialed scientific community.

There was however one inventor and discoverer who defied all orthodoxy with its paralyzing dogma and doctrine launching himself without fear into these unknown waters. His name was John Ernst Worrell Keely (1827-1898). Mr. Keely began his investigatory work in the 1860s relentlessly pursuing his goals of limitless power until his death in 1898. The various forms of energy he discovered were results of dissociating molecules, atoms and various subatomic particles. See further exploration in dissociation of atoms liberates spontaneous energy, dissociating water and dissociating atoms.

"Keely has proved by demonstration (prior to 1893) that the subdivision of matter under different orders of progressive vibration evolves by such subdivision entirely new and distinct elements, too multiple to enumerate." [Bloomfield-Moore]

Currently in particle physics there are 61 recognized elementary particles and numerous composite particles.

During this time Keely developed two main classes (hydro-vacuo and dynaspheric or globular) of motors each class with many variants to harness the unacknowledged Etheric Force he had discovered. A third class of motor called a Vibrodyne was developed later. He invented countless instruments to detect, measure and control this power. During the development of his discoveries Mr. Keely developed a stunning array of accomplishments many of which were not duplicated until decades later, if at all. Because his work with his etheric or dynaspheric force involved splitting or dissociating the atom, which was anathema to the theories of those scientists surrounding him he was very effectively shunned and ostracized by science. This especially true of the power industry whose owners became alarmed and fearful of Keely’s new forces that would effectively end their monopolized steam, coal and other power industries. False charges of fraud and other calumnies were applied to Keely and his work. There were however a few scientists with vision, honesty and courage who witnessed Keely’s experiments and did cautiously endorse his findings.

Brinton’s abstract provides an insight into Keely’s paradigm of subatomic particles and the forces creating and the interactions between them that differs in many particulars from the Standard Model. Perhaps the primary difference is Keely understood attraction and repulsion to be created and governed not by "exchange particles for the strong force" but by variable states of harmony and discord of and between the vibrations and oscillations of the particles themselves.

Because there were no named quantum particles during his time Keely identified and gave them names. For instance the first level of subatomic particles he classified as atomoles.

"Atomoles are elementary units of matter uniform in size and weight, and exist in solid, liquid, gaseous, and isolated forms." [Keely, plural atomolini]

Perhaps most revealing is his definition of atoms which show beyond doubt he understood the composite nature of atoms.

"Atoms are multiple combinations of atomoles, and they also exist in solid, liquid, gaseous, and isolated forms." Keely

Keely’s work was true disruptive innovation that would have caused a mighty change of direction to society and industry. Small wonder then this man and his work were erased and not brought forward into practical use.

Splitting Atoms is Child’s Play
We have allowed ourselves to be misled into the unfounded belief that splitting atoms requires a Manhattan Project level effort. Splitting atoms is indeed child’s play but refining uranium to make an atom or nuclear bomb indeed does require a massive and expensive effort. Only psychopaths desire atomic and nuclear bombs. We simple folk would like to slow release these energies such that they can be used safely in a practical way.

As we will see below these sub-molecular and subatomic forces and energies are rarely death causing ionization or radioactivity. Natural or low-energy dissociation is actually gentler than a baby’s breath and just as safe.

Nearly every child of my and previous generations has played with cap guns wherein a small quantity of explosive powder is incapsulated in paper on a roll. The sudden compression of this powder introduces a pulse or shock wave that disrupts the harmony of the chemistry resulting in a destruction of the chemicals and their dissociation in atomic and subatomic substances. Flame (heat) and smoke (dissociated complex molecules) are produced in such a child’s toy. Cap guns and their 'ammo' have been around since the 1860s.

We’ve all struck matches and lit candles to enjoy the flame and sometimes aroma of scented candles. A candle flame is plasma. Such plasma shows electrical and magnetic attributes (subatomic features). From whence does this plasma come? It comes from within the complex molecules and atoms of the wax which are dissociated (split) by the discordance of the heat. The actual physics goes deeper than this but simply speaking the heat disrupts the coherence of harmony that holds the molecules and atoms together. The sharp increase of temperature while striking a match introduces extreme discord into the balanced chemistry of the match head igniting it - causing its molecules to dissociate in a flash of heat and photons of light (plasma).

Another everyday illustration of how simply dissociation happens is seen in faded signs along a road or highway. The original bright paint has been sublimated from a solid complex molecular substance into dispersing atomic and subatomic substances by discordant ultraviolet rays of sun light. This happens seemingly without physical effort - just the gentle dissociative chemical action of UV light.

Similarly this disruptive property of UV light dissociating molecules is used everyday to dissociate plastic in the making of printing plates. The process is called photolithography which has been in use since the 1820s. There are countless other industrial processes that make use of this dissociative property of high frequency ultraviolet light.

“How shall I illustrate this spiritual truth or wisdom? I will call it a king, who made a great feast or science for man his son. So he sends wisdom into the minds to call or reason about this great feast or science. They, that is their errors, prevented them from understanding, so he sent other ideas or arguments to convince the error so that it could understand. But the error made light of the truth and went their way and would not reason so that it could not get any foothold as yet. So the error ridiculed any idea that would rise in the minds that this truth ever could be reduced to a science. They discarded from their minds all idea of a science but admitted it as a gift or power. So when the king had failed to reduce this truth to a science because of the errors of the age, it was wroth and it sent forth its power and destroyed these errors that were murdering its science, and by its truth burnt up their old theory or society. Then said he, the wedding or science is ready to be understood by man (or the son).” [Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, A Parable] (underline added)

The term ether is a general catch-all term. It encompasses the multitude of diverse subtle or fine substances all of which are within the subatomic or finer range of elements of matter as arranged in seven subdivisions of matter and energy as shown in Figure 4.

When Aether is differentiated (polarized) the aether becomes polar manifesting as motion-in-inertia or motion-in-opposition becoming the wide variety of subatomic or quantum entities which are the component or constituent parts of all that is. These are on the fourth, fifth and sixth subdivisions. Of course ether substance, called an interetheron and etheron respectively is not a solid material body as we generally use that term. An etheric particle is composed of ether spinning, Figure 1, at tremendous velocities that, as a spinning spoked bicycle wheel appears solid, so does the etheric particle appear solid. The spinning ether, attracted syntropically via the negative attraction of the neutral center, spins in three dimensions thus sealing the weak poles of each etheric shell or envelops, Figure 2. Figure 3 shows how three such etheric particles self-assimilate in a triplet of forces forming a single unit of the next lower subdivision of matter and energy, Figure 4.

In orthodox science the wide array of quantum entities has been explored to reveal the specific identities and characteristics of individual fine elements such that there are currently recognized muons, leptons, etc. and all the other subatomic or quantum entities. All of which were lumped together as the "ether" in previous times most notably during that Victorian time when atoms were considered to be the smallest possible particle which was held to be indivisible into anything smaller. Since about 1890 it was gradually learned the atom was not indestructible and indivisible but could in fact be divided into its constituent component parts. [See Quantum Chronology below] These constituent parts taken as a whole was the ether. Today these parts have been individually identified as the various quantum elements known now as muons, leptons, etc.

As molecules are composed of atoms, atoms are composed of identified quantum entities or the unidentified elements of ether (etheric elements) as shown in Figure 3.
